The "New West" got the best prospects?

Simple question.
The South currently got Cole, Lopez & KRIT but that's pretty much it, and I'm lost for new talent on the East.
The midwest of course has a future one hit wonder in Chief Keef and that new kid on MMG Rockie Fresh but looking at the "New West" (Nipsey, Glasses, Black Hippy) are they the best prospects for cats who everybody will be listening to for the next say 5 years?

Thats the only south dudes makin noise that you know of?
Anyway the south generally dont have prospects. The artists just come out and go for what they know. -
The ? is a joey baddass
and that goombaw faced ? ain't going no where. -
Your list is all over the place, how's Glasses Malone a prospect?
-
Cats down South tend not to stick around very long. But I can see that at the very least Cole & KRIT will be around for awhile longer.
I've seen Joey Bada$$'s video and I dunno if I trust the kid's longevity. I still haven't checked out his mixtape either. I dislike Fred The Godson, but he's been around for awhile so I guess I should have added him. -
I forgot about ASAP Rocky, he's pretty dope, a bit strange for a NY ? but kinda refreshing because of the difference in influences.
Meek is well kind of a given so I didn't mention him. -

thats terrible honestly
Midwest is the best talent wise to me, Stalley, Freddie Gibbs, Fly Union, LEP Bogus Boyz, Rockie Fresh, the whole Chicago drill scene, underground guys like Rashad, Fly Union, Chip the Ripper, GLC, The Boy Illinois, Jon Conner. Mainstream guys like Cudi, Big Sean, Kanye West -

Like Gucci,Jeezy,Cashmoney,Rick ross, who are several albums deep and still hot? or the others, cause you never know. But no need to defend the south. I really dont understand the concept of prospects cause here in the south artists aint tryin to wait and miss their chance. Rather have a hit than be nothin. -
LEP Bogus Boys are pretty dope...they remind me a little of Mobb Deep. I'm not down with the "drill" movememnt though but I won't say it couldn't take the nation by storm. King Louie is ass cheeks though.
-
Gucci aint hot up here anymore lol.
Besides all them cats are established. I'm talking NEW faces. -
This ? just said the South ain't got stayin power like the West ain't been a wasteland for the past 15 years.
-
Why you getting so emotional breh? I'm from Detroit anyway and its just a question lol.

Yeah, thats what i was commentin on and all these people with hits out here. But hey reality is reality so sometimes gotta leave this place alone and go back to the real world. Hahahahaha -
Gucci aint hot up here anymore lol.

well theirs Cole, Jay Electronica, KRIT, Future, Currensy, BOB, Yelawolf, all them Texas rappers, Rapsody (dope female rapper) -
Rapsody is dope I ? with her.
? seem to sleep on Yelawolf though.
B.o.B & Curren$y have pretty good followings and have for awhile. Too bad a lot of cats ? on B.o.B for making "pop records".
Jay Electronica is a ? that's been on the cusp for about 4 years or some ? like that. -

Just mentioned him cause he been around since about 05 and still out. As an example of stayin power.2 chains, Future have been all over the radio lately. Just 2 examples. -
Oh okay I see. Future...time will tell I guess. 2Chainz is hot right now but he's a bit of an anomaly because he's not really "new" but he's not established as a solo artist yet. I guess Juicy J would qualify too then.

lets be honest, when he's not making blatant pop records like Magic or that Taylro Swift, his music is much better -
Gucci's latest mixtape damn near has 500k dls on Datpiff, somebody's still bumpin him
-
This my point and ill leave it alone. You always hear about west "prospects" but they never make no hits. K lamar, N hussle, J rock, etc.etc. I dont have a problem with them but Ive never heard them played. Meanwhile the south has no hype, the artists show and prove continually, and some people dont like it. Reality over hype. Hahahaha

yeah black hippy , nipsey hussle,g.malone, yg, tyga, dom kennedy and dont forget freddie gibbs is repping for the west.
but you cant find new talent on the east here is some listen to troy ave's mixtapes they are fire and listen to the new chinx drugz ? riot is bangin
action bronson ? is cool
maino got a group called the mafia are pretty good
the new banks mixtape is fire
loso's mixtapes are good
joey badass
asap rocky
meek mill
the east coast is still reppin boy -
That's true though. But I suppose that's what makes the South unique. Usually in places like the West & East you have to bubble for awhile before cats catch on (I.E. French Montana) but down South ? come out of nowhere.
-
the south got trae the truth and his group a.b.n renegadez and ther r crazy i dont i guess texas is the hardest in the south plus bun b,slim thug,les
atlanta got jeezy ,t.i, luda and future and waka and gucci
fat boy and drumma boy repping for memphis
miami is killin wit ross and ace hood plus gunplay and torch are killin it with the mixtapes they should all make a group with trina like the junior mafia of miami
the souyh may be aint that lyrical but the ? south go hard
